I'm trying to set up a folder where I can share files between my Windows 10 host and Zorin 17 guest OS using VMWare. Apparently, I need to have VM Tools installed, but I'm having a heck of time doing that. On VMWare 17 Workstation player, I'm Editing the Virtual Machine Settings. On the Options tab, I select VMware Tools. Then in Zorin File Manager, I see a CD icon called VMWare Tools. I open that up and see VMware Tools 10.3.23-16594550.tar.gz. I tried to extract, but all the files are grayed out. Can somebody assist me with this? Thanks.
When I tried to extract in File Manager, Zorin gives me an error message: Extraction not performed. You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder VMware Tools. I don't know how to obtain the correct privileges.
Thanks, but I couldn't get that solution to work. I went back to VirtualBox. The shared folder capability is lot easier to set up.
